Currently it is not possible to have %TOC% outside the %TEXT% in a VIEW_TEMPLATE.

I hope this is recognized as a necessary thing, although not very important. It gives a better professional impression when making wiki applications where end-users can edit without having to relate to %TOC% or other 'strange' text within their contents.

See Foswiki:Support.Question306

I would also like to see this.. Hiding such things can make life much easier when trying to get new users on board

I suspect that because of the way TOC works, it's highly unlikely this can be done. But it's a worthwhile enhancement.

Confirmed.

Sorry for the duplicate post with Item2509 . Even with the workarround it doesn't show content of the whole topic but only the content of the viewTemplate itself. I tried with the Sandbox example from Item2509 and even more permutations - nothing gets TOC to show the real content of the whole topic. Can anyone confirm this is a general problem with 1.1.1 and has there been a fix meanwhile?

Kind regards

-- EnrikGuenter - 09 Nov 2010

I removed all the spam from the original test topic in Sandbox web. The workaround works for me but, well, it's only a workaround. Enrik, what behaviour do you expect?

-- MartinKaufmann - 09 Nov 2010

Well, actually i just want the same behaviour as in the Sandbox example. On your page i see:

Workaround

ViewTemplate Header

TocTest Header

When i copy the TocTest and TocTestViewTemplate from your site with ?raw=all and insert it in my Sandbox, then i see:

Workaround:

Überblick

ViewTemplate Header

Überblick

ViewTemplate Header

"Überblick" is "overview" or in this case table of content in german. Any ideas? Can it be a diffrent TOC code version?

Kind regards!

Tested: Disable all plugins. No effect.

-- EnrikGuenter - 12 Nov 2010

Tested: Disable Internationalisation / UseLocale. No effect.

I'm starting to think there i something wrong with my foswiki. Can anyone conform that the workarround from the http://foswiki.org/Sandbox/TocTest does not work with 1.1.2 anymore??

-- EnrikGuenter - 24 Nov 2010

Just wondering if anyone got this working?

-- PadraigLennon - 13 Jun 2011

Elegant workaround from another task.. Tasks.Item5427

%TOC{"%BASETOPIC%" web="%BASEWEB%"}%
%INCLUDE{%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%}%
